Characteristics of Love Part 3 Betrayal, Love and Endurance
There are three words that sum up these last 12 verses.
they are Betrayal, Love and Endurance.
This advent season also encompasses these traits.
When Jesus was born the Sanhedrin betrayed the Law.
While they knew where Jesus was to be born they were not looking for Him and allowed King Herod to kill many children in his quest to kill the Christ.
Those that came to the manger from the angels to the shepherds to the wise men came in love and adoration for the new born King.
Joseph and Mary had endured many hardship to get to this place and would endure many more.
In their incomplete understanding they knew one thing, they had been chosen by God to birth and parent this chosen one of God.
Now the Christmas story is about to end.
The cross is in sight and Jesus is preparing the first generation of disciples to take the Gospel to the people around them to the Jews first but also to the Greeks.
They heard the waning about Betrayal.
They heard the command to Love and they through Peter were called to Endure both now and into the future for the Christ.
So are we.
I. 13:26-30 Betrayal
:26 Response - Jesus answered
Pronouncement - “It is the one to whom I will give this
piece of bread when I have dipped it in
the dish.”
Time - Then,
Act - dipping the piece of bread,
he gave it
Specific - to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.
:27 Time - As soon as Judas took the bread,
Satan entered into him.
Quote - “What you are about to do, do
quickly,”
Jesus told him,
We saw last week that Peter had asked John to inquire who Jesus was talking about as one who would betray Him.
Now what was secret becomes public.
It is as if Jesus resigns the actions of Judas to be completed.
This is not a permission or a command but rather a recognition that Judas had given himself over to this action and Jesus is saying OK if that is what you have decided then get on with it.
:28 Contrast - but
Affect - no one at the meal understood why Jesus said
this to him.
This giving of a small piece of bread or meat to someone by the host of the meal was considered a honor and so goes unnoticed by the rest of those sitting there.
The next verse gives us another reason as well.
At this point they had no experience to inform them of the true nature of Judas.
:29 Reason - Since Judas had charge of the money,
Specific - some thought Jesus was telling
him to buy what was
needed for the Feast,
OR
to give something to the
poor.
When you trust someone you do not jump to the conclusion that they are capable of doing a completely wrong thing.
Jesus indicates that Judas was first under the influence of the devil () now it seems as Jesus gives Judas the sop he is so given to carry out the plan of the evil one that he is taken over by Satan.
Even still Jesus does not openly embarrass him or out him to the others and they think Judas is on an errand for the Lord.
:30 Time - As soon as
Act - Judas had taken the bread,
he went out.
And it was night.
The words are both actual and symbolic.
It certainly was the time for night.
Some have speculated however that at the passover time there was a bright moon so not as dark as it could have been.
On the other hand the implication that John writes about when he says that Satan enter into Judas suggest a much darker idea that of the dark night of sin.
What we know from scripture is that Judas did not recover from his act of betrayal but ended by taking or attempting to take his own life.
II.
V. 31-35 Love
(NIV84)
:31 Time - When he was gone,
Pronouncement - Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man
glorified and God is glorified in him.
Jesus speaks here as if the act of the passion is already complete.
The spirit of confusion and evil is now over.
The battle has been fought and won.
NOW the Son in His humanity has fully accepted His sacrifice for the benefit of mankind.
All things are ready for God's plan of redemption to be implemented.
:32 Condition - If God is glorified in him,
Prediction - God will glorify the Son in himself,
AND
will glorify him at once.
What God is doing is beginning the steps by which the Son will once again take up His place in the Glory of the Godhead.
His birth was a miracle.
His life was a testimony, His death paid our ransom, His resurrection provided our hope, His ascension put Him in a place to make intercession for us, and His coming again is our soon to be realized final salvation.
